Re: How Touch Sensitive is your BeoTime?

I'll reiterate what I wrote in December:

I have it on the magnet on the wall. As the magnet is able to support a pretty strong whack w/o dropping the BeoTime, I've gotten used to just tapping the BeoTime pretty much the way you tap someone behind their shoulder. Kind of rocks the BeoTime on its wall mount, but works every time. Am OK with it.

Still, it is pathetic that B&O sells this thing as "touch sensitive". Imagine if Apple claimed their iPhone is "touch sensitive" and yet required a small whack every time you hit an icon or control.

I think it would be more accurately described as "brisk tap sensitive"

This is normal, your Beotime is not faulty.

I think they could have solved it better!

How Touch Sensitive is your BeoTime?

I got a BeoTime at the weekend, but I am slightly disappointed in the sensitivity of the 'touch feature'. When it is resting on my bedside table I can pick it up before the backlight comes on, and this morning I almost had to knock it off the wall bracket to put it to sleep. I find it is better to press the control pad rather that risk anything more 'heavy-handed'

I am used to the feather-touch lightness of the iPod Touch/iPhone - Am I being unreasonable? or or my BeoTime faulty?
